Yelp.com Review - by Tim M.

3.0 of 5 stars. If you're vegetarian / vegan, you'll probably love this place and can just stop here, add two stars to my review, and go to Sunspot right now. You'll love it. For the rest of you, read on: As a...

4.0 of 5 stars. Sunspot is a bit hit or miss with me. In general I like the food and the selection is good, especially the vegetarian choices. I particularly like their salad choices. They're probably my favorite...

Yelp.com Review - by Audrey D.

4.0 of 5 stars. I sit down and devour the tomatillo salsa and chips, then order a blackened tofu sandwich or one of the incredible salads. They used to have "mashers" of the moment, which aren't available anymore,...

Yelp.com Review - by Emily G.

4.0 of 5 stars. I agree that most of the criticism is overly harsh. I go to Sunspot about once a week and have never had a poor service and my food is always great.I think what is misconstrued as poor service is the...

Yelp.com Review - by Andrew L.

5.0 of 5 stars. Some people are overly harsh. When I was at UT, Sunspot was my getaway from fried/grilled/bbq'd food (yes, it does get tiring eventually).The atmosphere reminded me of San Francisco, bright and airy...

2.0 of 5 stars. Sunspot is lame. Its popularity is indicative of the lack of good places to go in Knoxville. Everyone always wants to go there and I never understand why. This place is vegetarian friendly at the...

Great Place by Shannon K. at InsiderPages

Sunspot is a great place to meet friends for food and drinks. Great location on The Cumberland Strip. Menu has a lot of variety, the Talopia is great.

Yelp.com Review - by mimi x.

2.0 of 5 stars. Well, Knoxville sure likes its meat. So with the shortage of green restaurants, Sunspot has garnered a reputation for being vegetarian-friendly--a reputation so far reaching that it's where most...

Sunspot is unique

In a town so full of chain restaurants, Sunspot is a great alternative. They have unique food at a moderate price. And, though it is vegetarian friendly, you don't have to be vegetarian to enjoy it. I really...

5.0 of 5 stars. Sunspot is, without question, the best casual dining restaurant in Knoxville. Despite being primarily known for the vegetarian fare, Sunspot grills a mean burger, probably one of the best I've ever...

A place for vegetarians and carnivores to come together

The Sunspot has to be one of my all time favorite places to eat. It was a great lunch hangout while in college and now a great date night place with my husband. He's a carnivore, I'm a veggie. This...

Great ambience and food!

Sunspot is a favorite of mine! It has both a bar area and a casual dining area, so you get the best of both worlds. Service has always been impeccable, though sometimes there is a bit of a wait. As...

The Sunspot is way overrated.

Good food is hard to find in Knoxville, and because of this, people's minds have been warped into thinking that this is a really good restaurant. The Sunspot is average, at best. Yes, the food is eclectic and...

For vegetarians and meat-eaters to enjoy together

Sunspot is a favorite of mine. I regularly take vegetarian friends who are visiting from out-of-town, as it's a rare locally-owned restaurant that offers great quality, atmosphere, and value. The menu...

Sunspot is cool

Nice place, a glorified diner with a bar. Bob Marley really isnt spicy Jerk... burgers are good. Tortilla chips are better than some Mexican resteraunts!

Relief from chains

K-Town is charming, and a great place to live, but it's hard to find alot of good, original restaurants. Sunspot is certainly an exception, in spite of being buried on "the strip," the bar/club/chain lined...

Hip for Knoxville

I live in a city of 9 million, and recommend anyone from a large city who happens to be in Knoxville (for whatever reason), that you stop by this place. The food is ecclectic, the service is friendly without...
